Electronic notification of an accident can be issued in any region
From November 1, electronic notification of an accident can be issued in any region, no matter where the accident occurred. To do this, it is necessary that both participants are registered on the government services portal, and at least one of them has the “MTPL Assistant” application installed. Until now, it was possible to file minor road accidents this way only in Moscow, the Moscow region, St. Petersburg, the Leningrad region and Tatarstan. In addition, it will be possible to file an accident online if the car is registered to a legal entity (previously the service was only valid for individuals). The notification can also be issued if there are disagreements between the participants in the accident.
Registration of an accident through the application
The mobile application OSAGO Assistant is another something new in the traffic rules from November 1, 2021. It is ready for launch in Russia and should make life easier for drivers. With it you will be able to issue a notification of an accident up to 400,000 rubles in electronic form. Part of the data for notification is taken from your personal account on State Services or from the AIS OSAGO. Participants simply need to check the accuracy and upload a photo from the scene of the accident. Special tips will help you with everything.
It is clear that this method will only work with individuals who are registered on the State Services portal. Now, in the new rules for registering road accidents from November 1, 2021, it does not matter whether there is disagreement between motorists about the culprit. This principle also works with the Europrotocol. If you refuse to take photographs, the payment received should not exceed 100 thousand rubles. The form is sent to RSA.
They will no longer issue paper vehicle registration certificates for new cars.
From November 1, paper vehicle passports (PTS) will be issued only to replace lost ones, those that have become unusable, and also if their further use is impossible due to filling out all the fields. All other car owners who bought cars manufactured from us or imported to us will not receive a title. It will become electronic and will exist only online. The only thing you will be given when purchasing such a car is an extract from the electronic PTS. Paper passports of previously issued vehicles will continue to be valid on a par with electronic ones. And you can get them from the traffic police if you lose such a paper passport.
What will change in November
For drivers, some things will change in terms of penalties starting in November. Article 11.23 of the Administrative Code is introduced in a different wording. The essence of the innovation is the establishment of penalties for drivers who have not installed a tachograph in their car or operate it incorrectly.
Penalties are established in the following amounts:
- From 3 to 5 thousand rubles, if the driver drives without a tachograph, or does not comply with the rules for using the device, in cases where its presence is required by law.
- From 7 to 10 thousand rubles for officials, from 15 to 25 thousand for individual entrepreneurs. Also from 25 to 50 thousand for enterprises that produced a car without a tachograph.
- 1.5-2 thousand rubles for drivers, 7-10 thousand for business managers, 15-20 thousand for entrepreneurs, and 20-50 thousand for company managers who violated the driver’s rest and work schedule according to information from the tachograph.
In addition, from November 1, some amendments to the laws will come into effect:
- Order 267 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated April 23, 2021, which specifies new forms of PTS and STS, as well as the conditions for filling out documents.
- The Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which approved the forms of passports for chassis and PTS, is cancelled. For example, the obligation to store the title only with the owner of the car will not apply. This means that the vehicle title can now be kept in the bank if the car was purchased on credit. This is possible if the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not issue a new law or establish a new fine for such actions. Even if there are such provisions, it will happen next year.
To find out true information, use official sources on the Internet, and do not believe unverified rumors from neighbors and acquaintances. The state will definitely notify the population about possible changes in laws and new fines.
Tire labeling becomes mandatory
From November 1, tire labeling becomes mandatory for manufacturers and importers. The phased connection of all participants in the tire trade to the Chestny Znak system will be completed by March 1, 2021. According to the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies (CRPT) as of October 23, more than 13.5 million tires have been labeled, of which more than 4 million are already in circulation. According to the CTRP, all manufacturers and about half of the importers—almost seven thousand—have been registered in the system. participants.
In addition, from November 30, the deadline expires during which participants in the circulation of cameras (except for film cameras and digital equipment), photographic flashes and flash lamps are required to additionally label and enter into the “Honest Sign” system products manufactured or imported into the Russian Federation before October 1, 2021 of the year. According to the CRPT, about 850 participants in the circulation of photographic goods are already registered with Chestny Znak.
Tire markings
The rules dictate to us that the production and import of tires without markings is prohibited. Plus, the same tire shops are also prohibited from buying unmarked tires. This is done to oust counterfeit products from the market. Drivers will be able to understand whether they bought legal products. By December 15, tires purchased before November 1, but imported into Russia after the 1st, must be marked. From March 1, 2021, all participants in the turnover are required to transfer all information to the labeling system.
Well, that’s all the innovations in the traffic rules from November 1, 2021. If you have questions, leave comments. Be careful and good luck on the roads!
Tachographs will appear on private trucks
Individuals using trucks weighing from 3.5 to 12 tons (category N2), the environmental class of which has not been determined, must equip their vehicles with tachographs by November 30. They allow you to record the speed, work and rest hours of drivers, thereby ensuring traffic safety. Vehicles are equipped with tachographs in stages in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Transport. Until March 1, 2021, individuals had to install tachographs on trucks weighing more than 12 tons, the environmental class of which has not been determined.
Fine for the driver for not having a tachograph
I would like to note right away that Article 11.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses has been completely revised; now it has a separate part with punishment for the driver and a separate part for officials.
The first change was made to Part 1 of Article 11.23:
1. Driving a vehicle or putting a vehicle on line for the transport of goods and (or) passengers without a technical control device that provides continuous, uncorrected recording of information about the speed and route of the vehicle, about the work and rest schedule of the driver of the vehicle (hereinafter referred to as the tachograph), in the event that its installation on a vehicle is provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, as well as with a non-working (blocked, modified or faulty) tachograph or with a tachograph that does not meet the established requirements, except in the case of a breakdown of the tachograph after the vehicle is put on line, as well as in violation established rules for using a tachograph (including blocking, adjustment, modification or falsification of information registered by it) -
entails the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of one thousand to three thousand rubles; for officials - from five thousand to ten thousand rubles.
1. Driving a vehicle without a tachograph if its installation on the vehicle is provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, or in violation of the requirements established by regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation for the use of a tachograph, with the exception of the case of a breakdown of the tachograph after the vehicle is put on line, or driving a vehicle, belonging to a foreign carrier, without maintaining daily registration sheets of the work and rest regime, applied in cases established by the legislation of the Russian Federation -
entails the imposition of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of three thousand to five thousand rubles.
| Old fine | New fine | |
| For the driver | 1 000 — 3 000 | 3 000 — 5 000 |
Both the minimum and maximum fines for the driver have been increased by 2,000 rubles.
In addition, from November 1, 2021, the Code of Administrative Offenses also provides for liability for foreign carriers who can use registration sheets instead of a tachograph.
Acceptance of applications for participation in electronic document management is ending
November 30th is the deadline for accepting applications from companies to participate in the experiment on maintaining electronic personnel document management. According to the Ministry of Labor, 155 organizations with 0.5 million employees decided to transfer all work with documents online. Participation in the experiment does not involve any risks for both employers and employees; electronic personnel document flow can be maintained both in your own information systems and on the “Work in Russia” portal (this opportunity became available on October 1).
Lighting and light signaling devices
Headlight cleaning devices and automatic headlight angle adjustment devices for headlights with light sources with a luminous flux of more than 2,000 lumens, provided for in the operational documentation or installed when making changes to the design of the vehicle, are faulty or missing.
Side and contour lights do not operate continuously.
When you engage reverse gear, the reverse lights do not turn on and do not work continuously.
The class of the light source installed in the lighting and light signaling devices of the vehicle does not correspond to that provided by the manufacturer in the operational documentation.
The Assay Office will collect fees for the turnover of jewelry
The Federal Assay Office will officially collect state duties for the production and circulation of precious metals and stones. De facto, it had been doing this before, but last year it received the status of a federal service; due to the new status, it was necessary to amend the Tax Code. All jewelry made in Russia undergoes assay control. If the product is marked 585, this means that the gold content is 58.5%, and this is confirmed by the sample. Fees are paid for testing and marking procedures.
Changes for drivers from November 1, 2021
From November 1, serious changes await Russian motorists. Electronic PTS, new tariffs on toll roads - this is not the entire list of changes that have occurred. Let's figure out what else awaits drivers and what mobile application they need to download to their phone.
Now only electronic PTS.
On November 1, the transition period ended, during which both electronic and paper PTS were in operation in the country. From now on, this document will only be issued electronically for new and privately imported cars. Paper PTS issued before November 1 of the current year will remain valid.
It has become easier to obtain a passport for a new car, since the manufacturers themselves have begun to issue electronic vehicle registration certificates. After the purchase, Russians can immediately go to register with the traffic police; inspectors will see all the necessary data in their system. If the car was imported into the country privately, then to obtain a document you will have to contact special testing laboratories.
Let us remind you that electronic passports contain detailed information about the car: its weight, engine power, mileage data, information about passing technical inspection, and more. In the near future, information from bailiffs will be included in the document, as well as changes in the design.
Reporting an accident has become easier.
As reported by the press service of the Russian Union of Auto Insurers, the mobile application “OSAGO Assistant” is ready for launch throughout the country. It is designed to make life easier for car owners, since it can be used to issue a notification of an accident in electronic form.
Russians registered on the government services portal will be able to use the new application. To register an accident, it is enough for at least one participant in the incident to have the application installed. You can choose one of two possible design options: with or without photo recording. In the first case, the maximum payment amount will be 400 thousand rubles, in the second - only 100 thousand.
Let us remind you that the application was previously tested in five regions: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Moscow and Leningrad regions, Tatarstan. The program was considered successful.
Tariffs on toll roads will change.
On November 1, winter tariffs began to apply on toll roads. As representatives explained, the fare has been changed to take into account inflation, and the amount of discounts for holders of transponders and season tickets has also been revised.
Insurers threatened to take extreme measures against Russians who did not notify them of the MOT.
On November 1, insurance companies began to apply the right of recourse to drivers who did not notify them of undergoing a technical inspection and did not send a diagnostic card. We are talking only about those Russians who applied for compulsory motor liability insurance according to a simplified scheme.
Let us remember that it was introduced in connection with the new type of coronavirus pandemic. After October 1, they had a month to pass the technical inspection. Those who do not complete it within the prescribed period may face recourse from the insurer in the event of an accident due to a technical fault.
Oil and gas companies were able to avoid fines for reducing production
November marks the deadline for submitting notifications to reduce the level of annual oil or natural gas production, which companies must submit to Rosnedra to avoid fines for deviations from project production targets. Before December 1 of this year, companies producing hydrocarbons are required to send written notifications to Rosnedra. The decision this year to provide oil and gas companies with the opportunity to avoid fines for failure to comply with production standards is due to a drop in demand for energy resources in the world due to quarantine restrictions during the pandemic.
Other structural elements
Vehicles of categories M1 and N1 are equipped with structures that protrude forward relative to the bumper line corresponding to the outer contour of the vehicle’s projection onto the horizontal plane of the supporting surface, made of steel or other materials with similar strength characteristics. Designs provided by the manufacturer in the operational documentation and (or) that have passed the conformity assessment are allowed, as well as metal grilles weighing less than 0.5 kg, intended to protect only the headlights, the state registration plate and its fastening elements.
Deformations due to damage or changes in the design of the front and rear bumpers of vehicles of categories M and N are allowed, in which the radius of curvature of the outward parts of the bumper (except for parts made of non-metallic elastic materials) is less than 5 mm.
The deadline for filing applications for tax deferment is ending
On November 30, the deadline for submitting applications for deferment or installment payment of taxes, advance payments of taxes and insurance premiums for small and medium-sized businesses and individual entrepreneurs will end. The reliefs were provided as part of the support for businesses most affected by the pandemic. The government simplified the procedure for providing organizations with deferments and installment plans for the payment of taxes and insurance premiums for up to a year, depending on the amount of decrease in the taxpayer’s income and without charging interest on the amount of debt. For taxpayers included in the unified register of SMEs, an additional extension of the deadlines for payment of taxes, fees and insurance contributions was provided for a period of three to six months. The collection of information on support for SMEs for 2021 and from January to October 1, 2020 will end on November 4, 2021.
